I don't know what the gently caress switch Trump flipped in his brainwashed masses, but the pile of raging whack jobs formerly referred to as friends I keep around on social media to have an eye on the stupid bullshit they vomit into each other's brains has gone completely ape-poo poo fucktarded cuckoo bird bonkers over this "he knew what he signed up for" kerfuffle. I don't know what's different about this particular bit of bile and vitriol Trump poo poo out onto the world but it's riled them up right good. They're in over drive screaming how strong-daddy Trump said the sky is green and water is dry which proves how true what Trump said is so obviously it's true and if you're too god drat stupid to understand it just go outside and look at the green sky and feel the dry water on your face. They've detached themselves from the reality I inhabit and have manufactured their own that gives absolutely no indication of how things work for an outsider to grasp. edit: I R GRAMMAR GOOD bird food bathtub fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Oct 18, 2017 |

Have you ever met someone who fell for a scam and they lost everything as they continued to double down? I think it's the same phenomenon.

Someone professing the gospel of Alex Jones is not just "of differing opinion." I get Republicans. I'm related to a myriad of ill informed, but well meaning rednecks. They're wrong, and some are more than a little stupid, but they're not crazy. Alex Jones and other straight up nutters who harass people like Sandy Hook parents? There's something truly wrong with them. And the ones who are profiting off of feeding their fevered lunacy? They should be in jail.

WampaLord posted:Well, she went on a totally unprompted rant about how Hillary Clinton is a witch/lesbian/babykiller to a customer at the business she works at. I know that much about her. And in my mind, that makes her a lovely nutjob. Don't worry about it. That dude responding to you totally overreacted and was a real dick about it. I don't know where you live but I I'm in NE Florida (St. Augustine) and work in Jax, so the veritable belly of the beast in other words. The poo poo I overhear on a day to day basis makes me wonder if I even have a place in this world anymore. I remember when I first moved here by way of Philly and San Francisco way back in 1993 and the culture shock was palpable so I can only imagine what it must be like now.

Jurgan posted:Where my brain trips up on this one is: the (((globalists))) are the most evil people in the world, determined to make everyone their slaves, and for some reason it's in their interest to create hysteria from making people believe there's been a mass shooting. Why not just find a schizophrenic, pump him full of drugs, set him in front of a window and hand him a rifle? It seems like that would be much easier than secretly hiring a bunch of actors and paying off thousands of people to claim to be witnesses and using the media to manipulate everyone into believing a shooting has occurred. The (((globalists))) are too afraid or humane to actually kill people? It's almost as if it doesn't make any loving sense. But that's what THEY want us to think, I guess. Yeah...if someone were staging this it wouldn't come off anything like it is turning out. I'm so confused about so man things. Still baffled about how Harvey Weinstein is the new poster child for the liberal left and why I'm obligated to defend him as a liberal. I'm engaged, politically active, read a lot and even watch a lot of films and I never heard of the mother fucker. Far as I can tell, most people like me are saying "gently caress that guy and gently caress Woody Allen and Roman Polanski too while we're at it" but I guess I'm supposed to be feeling ashamed about something for liking movies and voting for Clinton and Obama now. bird food bathtub posted:I don't know what the gently caress switch Trump flipped in his brainwashed masses, but the pile of raging whack jobs formerly referred to as friends I keep around on social media to have an eye on the stupid bullshit they vomit into each other's brains has gone completely ape-poo poo fucktarded cuckoo bird bonkers over this "he knew what he signed up for" kerfuffle.

Seems like a pretty easy way to shut this down: every time some asshat conservative brings this up, they should be asked if they support stronger legislation in the workplace to prevent stuff like this. Conservatives will of course, never agree to such a thing, and will continue to be disingenuous fucks, but at least it'll show the audience that they're full of poo poo.

One big reminder for the crisis actor people: a lot of them are people with some level of faceblindness, so their existing difficulty to inability to recognize faces makes it a lot easier for them to buy in to the entire concept. And their sincere belief in the "evidence" is also going to be fairly convincing to a lot of people who are politically inclined to believe in whichever conspiracy.

I've been seeing a lot of "how to combat people's beliefs" which basically amount to this: 1. Don't call them racist as this mentally causes them to raise a barrier to your comment 2. Try to establish a common interest as people are more likely to agree with someone they share an interest on 3. Accept that you might be wrong I dunno. I can't imagine any of this working on someone who believes Hillary personally kills children in her spare time.

Jurgan posted:idgi There's a running joke/meme that Ted Cruz is actually the zodiac killer. Which was a serial killer who was never caught that left behind puzzles that allegedly were clues to his identity. Hilariously enough, it's literally the only thing that Cruz isn't a reprehensible slimeball/monster/half-melted wax museum escapee about. Ever since someone crashed a question and answers session to ask if he was the zodiac killer at a televised event he's taken to running with it and making the occasional self-depreciating joke about the whole thing. If you dig up the video you can literally see the moment when he figures out what he's being asked and he nearly cracks up with laughter. quote:http://www.newsweek.com/ted-cruz-zodiac-killer-twitter-688030]TED CRUZ TWEETS ZODIAC KILLER CONFESSION, EXTENDING THE INTERNET'S FAVORITE MEME This is the post before those two.

I was laughing my rear end of at Hannity today playing Kelly's speech about the military phone call thing. Kelly essentially explained WHY the president said what he said and how he arrived at is choice of words but the whole episode was about how offended he was that a democratic senator eavesdropped or whatever. Lost in the whole thing was that while Kelly was explaining Donald's choice of words, there was no mention at all that Trump denied ever loving saying them and called it "a complete fabrication", so to me it amounted to: Kelly: I'm here to explain why Trump said these words he claimed he never said and also to express my outrage about how these words that were never spoken were misinterpreted. Lost in it all was that Trump outright lied AGAIN.

If left right now a lot of people have a problem with the stuff Kelly said but aside from the Congresswoman explaining herself as an actual family friend and not an opportunistic partisan like Kelly attacked her as, no one's really going to feel super comfortable going at Kelly. But the big elephant in the room remains that Trump called the widow and family liars. Kelly and the White House want to get away from that and make this about respecting the sanctity of this but Trump is Trump and there's no telling if he'll just double down at any time, especially if a reporter manages to get in a question.

I think we can tell. the answer is always yes and when it's not he just denies ever saying or tweeting the thing we heard or read him say and can demonstrably prove. I just listened to a big, dramatic speech from Kelly justifying and contextualizing the exact loving words Trump denied ever saying in the first place and no one is going to notice this disparity. edit: Yeah, I mean the sanctity of what? What Trump said and what he meant by those words? Or those words that were overheard that he never said? Or how rude and obnoxious it is to eavesdrop on those words that were never spoken?

Hannity suddenly cares about Russia now that it supposedly has something to do with The Clinton Foundation and/or Obama.
